Re: Change default language on the fly in a view

Hi there,

Thanks for your messages. It helped me finding how to do what I want
to achieve.

So the solution is to set <?php $_SESSION['Config']['language'] =
'fr_fr'; ?> to the view of the part I wanna display in French (yes I
have another view just for this part since it's AJAX generated).

This way, the po file used for this view only is locale/fr_fr/
default.po and the rest stays in English.

Thanks!
